Is there a specific type of rum that works best in Santa's Stiff Hot Chocolate?
While the recipe calls for dark rum, which adds a rich and slightly sweet flavor, you can experiment with various types of rum according to your preference.

However, the choice of rum should align with personal taste preferences.
